3. Features
High Resolution 18.5” Panel
The OR-185-3GSDI features an all-digital TFT-MegaPixel active matrix LCD system. The LCD panel features a brightness of 300
cd/m2 and a contrast ratio of 1000:1 making each display ideal in a variety of environments and lighting conditions.
Waveform Monitor Function
The built-in waveform monitor (which includes adjustable White and Black clip level indicators) can be displayed in various aspect
ratios, positions, and transparency options. The Waveform Monitor not only displays luminance, but can also warn the user for
out-of-range conditions such as overexposure or “blacker-than-black” errors with user-adjustable warning limits.
Real-Time Color Vectorscope
The built-in Vectorscope allows users to monitor color gamut range in real time. It displays in full color and can also be displayed
in various sizes, positions, and transparency options. The Vectorscope has adjustable gain from 1x to 5x.
ClipGuide
The ClipGuide function operates with both the Waveform display and Monochrome/Color picture display. Both the upper and
lower ClipGuide levels are adjustable to accurately display over-and-under
exposures during different shooting conditions. For
example, the upper ClipGuide limit may be set to 85 IRE and lower limit to 10 IRE. With these settings, any exposures over the
set limit of 85 IRE will display red
on both the Waveform and picture (if selected). Same is true for blacks under 10 IRE.
Chroma Monitor Function
Included in the ClipGuide menu are settings for monitoring color gamut errors which can occur in color space conversion. Any
data exceeding these values will be displayed as yellow in the picture. The factory presets limits are 16 and 240 according to ITU-
R BT.709. During normal video production, these values should not be exceeded.
Precision Audio Level Meters
De-embeds and displays up to 16 channels of audio using sixteen 64-segment tri-color Audio Meters with user-adjustable
reference levels. The Audio Level Meters provide numerical indicators and headroom levels, as well as peak hold function. Audio
Channel Loss Warning prevents errors during monitoring.
Precision White Balance with Color Temperature Adjustment
White balance adjustment is essential in order to render colors correctly. To display colors correctly, gray scale should maintain
identical color
temperature. The white balance for ORCHID monitors defaults to D65 (6500K) so the user does not need to adjust
white balance. LCD monitors have color-matching issues because white balance can be affected by a change in luminance level.
This unique color management system solves this problem. The ORCHID operating system includes an Automatic White Balance
function that allows a “One Button” calibration procedure when used with a Minolta CA-310 color probe. All ORCHID Series LCD
panels are calibrated at the factory to ensure color conformity between screens.
Select Color Temperature and Gamma Mode
Color temperature presets range between D65 and D93. User defined settings can be used as well. Gamma settings are
adjustable from 1.0 to 3.0 in 0.1 increments. The standard setting is 2.2.
Flexible Screen Markers
A variety of screen markers in 4:3, 16:9, and full screen modes allow accurate monitoring of the different aspect ratios used in
broadcast environments.
User-Definable Function Buttons
Nine User-Definable Function Buttons and one Rotary Encoder on the front panel allow quick access to numerous settings and
features including Input 1, Input 2, Option Input, Waveform, Vectorscope, Audio Bars, Aspect Ratio, Screen Markers,
Monochrome Mode, H/V Delay Mode, and more.
Audio Jack
Three 3.5mm AUDIO jacks are included. It is possible to utilize both the front panel headphone connector and rear panel speaker
connector simultaneously with individual volume controls. When menu mode is not used, the rotary encoder on the front panel
may control the headphone and internal speaker volume.
